Ken Woolley's latest Modernist Pettit + Sevitt project home, built recently with 21st Century thinking, has been sold for $900,000.
Initially listed in 2011 with $1.18 million plus hopes, it was most recently marketed with revised $850,000 plus expectations.
The five-bedroom, two-bathroom Lowline house project by the veteran architect was built in the Sydney hills district suburb of Kellyville at the request of Val Sevitt, the widow of company co-founder Ron Sevitt.
It is some three decades after the original building company closed its doors. The original 1960s house design (pictured below) has been updated to meet modern building requirements in the Kellyville project.
Pettit + Sevitt relaunched in 2009 under the directorship of Ron Sevitt’s widow, Val Sevitt, and her children, Colin Sevitt and Carol Perry.
At one stage Pettit + Sevitt was building 400 of Lowline houses a year with about 3,500 built in the 1960s and '70s.
McGrath agent Mark Vinogradov had the listing at 26 Country Club Circuit.
